Creates one chance in win Giroud created one scoring chance and recorded one clearance in Wednesday's 1-0 victory against St. Louis City SC.

Impact Giroud lacked shooting numbers and the only time he found the back of the net was disallowed due to a tight offside during the second half of the match. The forward remains with no goals and only one assist in league play since joining Los Angeles FC in August, although he did score twice in other competitions. He returned to the starting lineup against St. Louis after having his minutes managed in previous games, and he worked in the middle of a front three between Denis Bouanga and Mateusz Bogusz.

Impact Giroud recorded 90 minutes as Kei Kamara's partner in a front two at Houston. The recent signing missed his chance to open his MLS scoring count and mostly racked up duels won in the draw. The fact that he didn't leave the field is a good sign for his fantasy value as he looks to become a regular starter, perhaps reducing Cristian Olivera's playing time in the final stretch of the regular season.
